[comp.periphs.scsi] drive noise

grunwald@foobar.colorado.edu (Dirk Grunwald) (01/16/91)

I have a fuji 1.2Gb SCSI drive, and it's very noisy.

since this will be in my office, I'd like to find a quieter drive.

Does anyone know how the Fuji drive compares, noise-wise against HP
and/or Wren-VII drives?

I don't know about the Fujitsu drive, so I can't really compare it, but
I do have a Wren VII on my system here and find it to be a rather quiet
drive.  Seeking is a nice firm click.  If the drive is thrashing about
the noise is higher, but I don't find it objectionable.
